I did. Tells me a lot about you that you read that and came to that conclusion that he should be censored.I agreed with what she wrote in the article. Didn't you read it?
Or do you mean that someone classed them as newspapers incorrectly, hence section 230 was needed to clarify that they were not (never were).
There's a very simple fix to this (well, at least simple at first glance and I'll get into why it's not really simple at all). What the government can do is basically tell the ISP, o.k. if you want immunity, you can moderate but it can only be moderation in line with the established first amendment case law and it must be administered politically neutrally. If you don't want immunity, that's fine you can do whatever you want but then you are responsible for the content of your users (including CR, defamation, incitement). For the larger ones, there has to be an appeals process to maintain that immunity, with an ultimate resort to the courts with attorneys fees awarded for frivolous actions. It's also probably a good idea, given what happened to Parler, to break up some of the tech industry on antitrust grounds. You are either a newspaper that gets to make content decisions, or you're a bulleting board...pick one.
Here's why the left will object and why it's not so simple....there's no hate speech exception in the US Constitution. So you couldn't ban nasty racist speech under that formulation unless it's an actual call to violence or something defamatory.
I agree with her.
Lots of people out there with a piece of paper on the wall that don’t know shit. Half the doctors in this world graduated in the bottom half of their class.Let's see what the First Amendment has to say -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
That is a restriction on Congress, not any private business. Was that not noted in any of your Law Review articles?

"Why, Magoo, you've done it again you sly dog!!!"
We've seen this before with the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment only restricted the federal and state governments initially. It was later extended to common carriers, and then more broadly. Otherwise, we wouldn't have civil rights laws and only the government would be restricted from discriminating. I'm sure a big time "conservative" like you would say it's fine for private businesses to discriminate.
In any case, the default position prior to legislation was that ISPs were responsible for the content of their users. Section 230 gave them immunity. It's very basic...just give them qualified immunity. They can choose to do whatever they want as a publisher and exercise their 1st amendment right, but then they are liable the same as any other publisher. Or they can choose the immunity but have to adhere to the terms set by Congress, which would be broadly the same as the first amendment. This isn't rocket science. But I forgot....your my Mr. Magoo, and we love you!
Assuming the identification is correct, that's BLM, not antifa.
You could just admit you were wrong instead of (again) cluelessly demonstrating it.
Leave it to a big time conservative like you to point out that BLM is worse than Antifa. Magoo, sorry, but that's racist.....just saying.
I only pointed out that they were different. The "worse than" is entirely your position. So who is the racist here?
I'm not the one going around claiming to be a "conservative". We all know you "conservatives" hate us POC.
You're the one that said that BLM was worse than antifa. Are you evading taking responsibility for making that statement?
Actually, I said I was a conservative in its former meaning, back when that meant respect of the US Constitution, a robust military, balanced budgets, and adherence to the law (or accepting the consequences of protesting against unjust laws). I have lost track of what the current crop of so-called conservatives believes in - maybe you could fill us in? In your judgment, what was the proportion of currently-defined conservatives in the Capitol mob?
As for your implication that I hate POCs, you should ask my wife and children.
We all know Antifa is fair game (a bunch of white kids) but criticism of BLM is off limits. BLM, after all, to most of us (except of course crazy "conservatives" like you) can do no wrong. So how dare you point out in any way that BLM could be connected to the Capitol in any way. That is totally racist. It's Antifa.
But from the post "charged in 2020 over a BLM-Antifa riot". There are a handful of others but I don't care enough about you to search every one...this was just the easiest one to find since I knew Ngo had posted it. That said, it's very clear the handful of leftist infiltrators were NOT driving the Capitol protests.
And I'll throw back at you the same thing that was thrown back at me on these forums...just because you date or marry someone who is a person of color doesn't not make you a racist. But of course, a crazy "conservative" like you can't see his own privilege right there in front of him. Need those glasses Magoo.
Biden's theme for the inauguration is apparently going to be "America United". This will be occurring (unless they delay it til after the first 100 days) at the same time they are trying to impeach Trump. Seriously a lesson right out of the Soviet playbooks. Given the poll numbers about how Rs feel about this, you can have unity, or you can give Trump his consequences....pick 1.....but this is just destroying your message.
